The second is a Firefox extension that adds discovery and registration support to Firefox: http://bonjourfoxy.net/
Both are in the midst of heavy updates and any and all feedback on them would be appreciated - see profile for contact details.

Specifically, I've been trying to do things to Arc that will make News shorter. I'm running out of room, though: News is 1886 LOC, and it's rare now when I can find something that will cut as many as 5. So I'm going to try writing some other types of applications t…
I'm playing with keyword extraction algorithms in arc. Yesterday I discovered it was super easy to pull the classic porter stemmer C library (http://tartarus.org/~martin/PorterStemmer/c_thread_safe.txt) through mzscheme's foreign-function interface and into arc.

#75I'm trying to solve, once and for all, the problem of hacking music on a computer, using Lisp and a couple venerable libs. You'll all be the first to know when I release the alpha (very soon).

#80I quit my job a month ago for my second crack at bootstrapping a business: http://www.shirtstastegood.com I'm in nyc and I would love to hear any feedback! Thanks.

Love the shirts. Wish you the best of luck.

We do sketch comedy, and I could see us using a service like that.
